Visitor Info

 
Twin vessels of the Inter-Island Ferry Authority, or IFA, provide a daily link between Hollis and Ketchikan, this region's commercial hub. Working in alternation throughout the year, MV Prince of Wales and MV Stikine make a comfortable three-hour run between the communities. The two ferries feature forward observation lounges and reading rooms, quietrooms, and play areas for children. Cafeterias and solariums round out amenities on our green floating roadways.
 
A new transportaion option opens in summer of 2011 Rainforest Islands Ferry. The RIF vessel sails from Coffman Cove and calls to Wrangell, Petersburg and Ketchikan, carrying passengers and vehicles.
 
Ferry service to Ketchikan from the mainland is provided by the Alaska Marine Highway. The trip from Bellingham, WA runs about 38 hours. State ferries also call at Prince Rupert, B.C. for a six-hour sail to Ketchikan.
